Just FYI, helping people help themselves is also happening; people are absolutely trying to help people become independent. Housing is only one technique for dealing with these huge issues such as poverty and addiction. For instance, part of the new Scattered Sites program provides caseworkers to assist people in the camps so they can progress and not be homeless or dependent. Sometimes this work starts with basics like getting people IDs, but the goal is to help people move on and get out of the hole they are in. We still lack treatment resources which are badly needed (we have a fraction of what we used to have) but there are some new facilities being built, and that is another avenue that needs work, especially at the state level.
